This technology describes a method for reducing carbon monoxide toxicity and enhancing the CO metabolic stability of microorganisms by using biopolymer-based nanofluids capable of capturing carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide has a significant substrate inhibition effect on microorganisms, which has resulted in low stability in CO metabolism-based fermentation.
This technology utilizes biopolymer nanofluids incorporating tannin-transition metal complexes to mitigate CO toxicity and enhance the CO metabolic stability of microorganisms, thereby contributing to industrial fermentation processes using blast furnace gas.
